“Supersonic” is the lead single and title track for West Coast female rap group J.J. Fad’s 1988 debut album. “Supersonic” was initially recorded with the original six members of the group and released in 1987 as the B-side to their Dream Team Records single “Anotha Ho,” where they dissed several East Coast female rappers. After “Supersonic” received more spins, the group became a trio and the song was re-recorded and re-released on Ruthless Records in 1988. The single reached #30 on the Billboard Hot 100, was certified gold and they became the first female rap group nominated for a Grammy Award as they were included in the Best Rap Performance category in 1989.

In a 2005 interview with Red Bull Academy, producer Arabian Prince talked about “Supersonic”:

I think we sold four or five million records with this thing. I spent 400 bucks in the studio on this thing. […] 808 and I think a Juno 60, that was it. We made one of the biggest… well, it was the first 12" to go gold on Ruthless Records. Even before the N.W.A. and Eazy-E stuff at the time.

“Supersonic” has been incorporated into a number of songs over the years, including Fergie’s “Fergalicious,” Killer Mike’s “Go!,” Eminem’s “Rap God” and MF DOOM’s “Hoe Cakes” among others.
